Hi all,
There has been talk about what is needed/wanted for the future of
devtools and db-scripts but not much done lately. So I thought I would
get together a list of ideas so we could perhaps do a coding sprint to
implement them. Here is what I have got so far:
devtools
- split-PKGBUILDs with (supported in future pacman):
-> both binary and arch=any packages
-> overridden pkgver
-> overridden pkgrel (and only selected sub-packages)
- support for xz compression (nothing needed?)
db-scripts
- support for xz compression transition (e.g. in clean-up script)
- support for single "package" directory with symlinks to repos
- allow db-move to handle multiple packages
(or add a script to help moving from community-testing)
- delta support...
Any others?
Allan
